low key pinot weekender (II)

After a really sunny weekend the clouds are back in town. They have even been delivering a few drops this afternoon. It seems like those delicious breaks on the balcony are far gone. Both the cheese and the pinot noir will have to wait a little until we all meet together in front of the "Horizon", watching the harbour and those crazy cockatoos flying around the pool on top of The Westbury.

I forgot to mention the new pinot noir we tried on Sunday for our late "aperitivo". A 2008 Savaterre from Beechworth (Victoria). Very nice for the cheese. Its soft woodiness and its ending spicy touch were delightful. 

This week I am looking forward to receiving a package from William Downie with his three new different pinots. I can't wait for such a celestial moment. We will try them all together, just to make sure we know which is our absolute favourite. I suspect it will be a very difficult decision, but definitely an inspiring process.
